Elements of Computer Networking: An Integrated Approach

Description

Networking and the Internet touch our lives in untold ways every day. From onnecting our computers together at home and surfing the net at high speeds to editing and sharing digital music and video, computer networking has become both ubiquitous and indispensable. Computer Networking continues with an early emphasis on application-layer paradigms and application programming interfaces (the top layer), encouraging a hands-on experience with protocols and networking concepts, before working down the protocol stack to more abstract layers.

In total, there are 17 chapters in this book, and they include Application Layer, Transport Layer, Physical Layer, Data Link Layer, Medium Access Control Sublayer, and Network Security. Narasimha style of structured teaching helps the readers to grasp concepts easily. He begins by explaining the physical layer of computer hardware, networking, and transmission systems, after which he tackles advanced concepts pertaining to network applications.

This book has become the dominant book for this course because of the authors’ reputations, the precision of explanation, the quality of the art program, and the value of their own supplements.
